I followed the steps in your guide successfully (thanks again) and now I am trying to connect an external hard drive in order to use the CFG USB Loader only it's timing out when trying to connect the drive (error ret -1).

I've checked both compatibility lists and my LaCie 500 GB External Drive (Porsche Design) should work. I actually have 2 and tried both (one's a Seagate drive and the other is a Western Digital Caviar). There is a comment here saying that it worked with Hermes cIOS 222 v5. I notice your guide implements 222 v4.

I have two questions about attempting to use version 5:
1 - The release notes for 222 v4 make it sound like v5 is older somehow ("UPDATE - 5.30.2010" 3rd paragraph). Which is newer or does it matter? I couldn't find a hosting page for the Hermes cIOS releases, just forum postings.
2 - How much risk is there in installing a different version from the one in your original instructions? Being new to this, is there a tutorial on updating individual cIOS releases?

I guess that was really 3 questions.

Anyway, let me know if you can assist. Thanks!

You could start by editing sd:\usbloader\config.txt
change ios250 to
ios249
ios248
ios222
See what results you get.

Thanks, I tried all 3. 249 and 222 just stretch the time-out, but none of them seem to help the drive to be recognized.
I should mention I've tried the drive as FAT32, but now I'm doing 4 GB as FAT32 and the rest as WBFS (primary active).
